Happy Friday, Crazy Ducks! Each week I have the intention of this update being shorter, but sorry that will not be this week. We are in the thick of the season and there is a lot going on! 

• FCC hosts Clemmons West in our final home meet next Tuesday, June 16; deadline to declare your swimmer is Sunday, June 14. We will be taking a team picture before the meet!
• City Meet is next Friday, June 19; registrations is closed, but volunteers (timers) are needed. There will be no practice on Friday, June 19.
• GFSL Finals are on Sunday, July 12th at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.  Swimmer and volunteer sign ups are open!

Home Meet June 16th vs Clemmons West

The Crazy Ducks host the Clemmons West Aqua Demons at home on Tuesday, June 16th at 5:30pm. This is our last home meet of the season and we will plan to take our team picture before the meet. There are still 55 undeclared swimmers. The deadline to declare your swimmer is Sunday, June 14th by 5pm.

We are still in need of several ducklings helpers for the Clemmons West meet: 6U Boys, 7-8 Girls, 9-10 Boys, and 9-10 Girls. Duckling helpers help the swimmers get ready and lined up for their events.  These are great volunteer spots, especially if you have a swimmer in that age group.

City Meet Next Friday, June 19

The YMCA and TYDE Swimming are hosting the Robin Jacobs City Meet Next Friday, June 19th. The theme this year is Monster’s Inc. The Crazy Ducks have 45 swimmers registered, our largest participation yet!  The deadline to register has passed, however we do need volunteers.  Each team is asked to provide 2 timers per session (AM & PM).  Sign up to volunteer as a timer here: City Meet Volunteer Sign Up

GFSL Finals on July 12

The Greater Forsyth Swim League Finals will be held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center (the GAC) on Sunday, July 12th.  Finals consist of two sessions: Session 1 (10 and under) and Session 2 A/B (11 and up; 2A-Girls and 2B-Boys).  When you sign up in Swimtopia, you do need to select the specific session for your swimmer based on their age and gender.  Please note that the session dates in Swimtopia are incorrect and reflects the 2025 finals date.  Unfortunately, we cannot figure how to update these without starting over. Since we have swimmers already signed up and it is a placeholder just for our team we are going to roll with it. The event date is correct for July 12, 2026. 

Finals is different than City Meet and GFSL Meets we have during the season against other pools. The Finals Meet is meant to be an even competition with participation limits. Each team is only allowed 3 swimmers per event. As a result, there are times when swimmers may only swim 1 or 2 events at the meet for their team. It’s a great event and we’d like each age group to have a relay team represented.
